Just my opinion only, I'm not a gunsmith, competition shooter, ect...I wouldn't fire that out of anything that wasn't a modern "full-size" .357 Magnum revolver. What I mean by that is, I have a Taurus .357 Magnum Model 66 that I bought new about a year or so ago (you can look it up and see the size of it)...I would fire the ammo you have out of that pistol. I would NOT fire it out of a snubby or any other small-frame pistol, and I wouldn't fire it out of anything chambered for .38 Special. That ammo is probably loaded below .357 magnum levels, but its still likely to be pretty hot stuff. However, I'd guess its decent quality since its made by Federal, though. Once again, merely my personal opinion.
